Break. Stats. News.

I'm enjoying my training break this week, for sure. Running only as often, as long and as fast as I feel like running. So basic. So freeing.

Still working hard on not obsessing on what's next and what I did wrong in the last race. It's hard not to think about those things but I'm in active Block Out Those Thoughts mode. I will allow myself a little look back, however, to recap September's running since I forgot to do it last week.

September stats:

Running (miles): 100.2
Cross-training (sessions): 1

September was my highest mileage month yet this year. Yahoo! But, one cross-training session? One?!? Jeez, no wonder my arms were feeling weak during my race!

I was pleased with how good my body felt during my race training. Overall, my plan was a smart one (I still believe this); I just failed on race day. Can't blame the plan. I know! Slipping back into Those Thoughts! I'm done...

Hopefully, my October mileage will be about the same as my September mileage and I'll have a few more cross-training sessions in there. These arms need some work!

In other news . . .

I just became the Albany Running Examiner! So far, I've written a whopping one article. But there will be more. Soon. I promise. In the mean time, you can check me out here.

It's almost the weekend -- woo hoo!
